    Using an Razer Core V2 with 2017 15" MacBook Pro

    I might be purchasing a packed deal including the Razer v2 and an AMD card. The question I have is that to my understanding the Razer v2 only output 60 watts through the Thunderbolt 3 port. Which isn't the 87 that is needed by the 2017 15" MacBook Pro. Would this just cause the MacBook Pro to...

    Reading AMD Card versions...

    Hello everyone! I'm normally an NVIDIA fan for GPUs, but I'm trying to broaden my horizons with AMD since it seems Apple and NVIDIA are in a bad relationship state. When reading NVIDIA card numbers, you can generally tell how far up the food chain you are by the number. For example: GTX 1080...
